Beet Me to It - A Cethan Love Story

Chapter 1

I always knew I liked girls. Whenever my good friend Natalie got in the car, it was like a fire began inside me - red and hot. However, I knew, sure as anything, that I had some competition. Not only were all my friends madly in love with her, there was another. He had slicked hair, wore black clothing and blocked out the world with his air pods. Ethan. "Bubble". Bütt. My friend Adam and him here neighbors so I totally knew who he was and also totally knew he was in love with Natalie. I don't fucking know why I felt threatened by him because he was a nerd and I was a jock (I play tennis and volleyball) but somehow I hated him. Maybe it had to do with his smoldering eyes or luscious hair, it was all unclear to me. My mom told me multiple times that I was the right contender for her but I couldn't let that cloud my judgement.

Days passed and I kept a strong eye on the two though I started to notice the strange things with the McKibbin twins. Over the summer, Edward had gained nearly 100 pounds in pure muscle, cleared up his acne and became as dreamy as the dreams I dreamt about my mom. Matthew, however, had flown down a downward spiral to nothingness. They both seemed madly in love with her as they had been spending a lot of time with her. So now, instead of 4 pairs of eyes, it was 8 eyes. Fuck.
"What's good mah doods!!" Screamed my BBFL, Adam.
"Nothing much, just hanging out with my friends... and Natalie." I winked at her with my many lashes and sneered quickly at my competition.
"Hey Cole, Natalie is a person too." Said Bubble Bütt. He got up, taking out his air pods simultaneously.
"Oh really? I thought all you knew was computer jargon not English... nerd." I got to his level, cracking my neck and back.
"Nerd? NERD?" Natalie began to scream and hide with fear. Matt and Ed quickly ran to her defense but I couldn't worry about that. I had establish my dominance with this kid once and for all. I lunged over the table and smacked Ethan's ear and began to groan. He quickly retaliated, agile was he. He jumped on me, his deltoids strained and made me nervous. Veins in his neck fell into mine as I spun him into the cold tile floor. Our breathing synced up and we scream. I flung my fist back and harshly smacked him in the eye. I felt so alive, so good. I pulled my arm back for another, when someone grabbed it.
"Cole McCann?? Are you serious?" Mr. Candle stood above me, shaking his head. I remembered him for a class I had freshman year. Ethan got up. Candle dismissed him to the health room. Part of me felt bad but the other kinda felt turned on. That was most likely because of Natalie but like, fuck. The janitor skidded over to clean up Bubble Bütts spit and blood.
"Mr. Johnstone, as I can you, you have no respect for Mr. Bubble Bütt - I mean Butt. I have no choice but to give detention or force you to complete coding for computer club. The decision is yours."
